Hi Ulodesk,



Here's a macro you might find useful. It simply goes through all the Styles in the active document and deletes any user-defined ones. Any paragraph using a deleted paragraph Style will revert to the Normal Style and anything using a deleted character Style should revert to the underlying paragraph Style.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for the macro, which I installed and ran. What it did, as far as I could see, was delete all the proper custom styles in the document, which were from our template, and leave at least the majority of the invaders. In case you'd like to pursue this little gremlin further, I am attaching a copy of part of the table (the whole thing is too large), with original text replaced.

The styles that begin with K are the styles we use, along with the adapted built-in headings and a handful of others; they number about 60-75, depending on adaptation of template to particular needs. As you'll see, some are already in altered states from authors' machinations. The rest came in with the table. Interestingly, taking just this part of the table and putting it in this new doc for you, knocked most of the numbered heading styles silly. Ours look like 1 (sans bullet) and then like level 4.

Cordially,
Ulodesk
